Henkel investit 400 millions de LUF/
Article Abstract:
The German company Henkel, which purchased the Luxembourg based domestic detergent company, Chemolux (specialists in dishwasher detergents) in January 1998 has invested LFr 427mn in Chemolux's plant. Henkel (1997 turnover DM 20bn, 54,000 staff world-wide) intends to make the Luxembourg plant a European centre in the production of dishwasher detergents, a sector which has undergone rapid growth recently due to the introduction of two-phase dishwasher tablets. The plant, which employs 150 staff is already capable of producing 200,000 such tablets per hour. Equipment at Chemolux's plant is ultra modern, and their production process won a 1994 EU environmental prize due to its low energy usage.

Akzo Nobel/Ghlin : pollution/
Article Abstract:
Akzo Nobel Chemicals pumped BFr 150mn to increase its output in its Belgian unit of Ghlin in 1997. This effort allowed the unit to double its nitrogenous derivative production capacity over one year. The plant, also active in organic peroxide, reported an environmental effort of BFr 30mn in investment, and BFr 17.6mn in spending including BFr 10.1mn in local taxes as part of the wastewater), in 1997. The group met almost all its environmental requirements at Ghlin that year, with the exception of the nitrogenous content of water which it failed to reduce due to the sharp increase in output volumes. The plant, worth BFr 3.5bn in turnover in 1997, reports a staff of about 200.
